wow! this is the best news I’ve heard all week! I thought this place closed down years ago.
Thanks for reporting.

This is one of my all time favorite places. I’ve bought many perennial and annuals here over the last couple of years, and the owner is unfailingly happy to see me with my kid in his stroller. They even remember his name!!

Holly Park Greenhouse is an oasis! I’ve been going there for twenty+ years. The best part: it’s NOT Molbacks, it’s NOT City People’s. It’s an entity unto itself, rather like walking into someone’s subconscious where strange and wonderful plants sprout between the cracks, under tables, from pots hanging from the rafters. One of Seattle’s hidden treasures.
Don’t miss the highly-fragrant heliotrope in June!

Amen, T!

I’ve lived in the south-end for five years and within a few blocks of HPG for more than a year and JUST discovered it. It’s like a secret garden right in your own backyard!
